Wendelstein Rock Formation and Triangulation Point

Highest point in Grünbach, beautiful rock group in the forest. Perfect resting place.

Highest point in Grünbach at 743m altitude.

The rock formation is visible from afar. And from the top, you also have a great view.
It's a bit more difficult to climb the rock in cycling shoes, as it's quite smooth and drops steeply to one side.
Once at the top, you'll find a station of the Royal Saxon Triangulation Survey."The Royal Saxon Triangulation (here with its historical proper name) is a national survey carried out between 1862 and 1890 on the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony, with the simultaneous creation of a trigonometric network.
The goal was to record the territory with scientific and geodetic precision and, by establishing permanently marked reference points, to create the basis for the production of accurate maps." - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6niglich-S%C3%A4chsische_Triangulirung
The triangulation network created by August Nagel was considered one of the most precise surveying networks in the world at the time.
The Nagel columns are now preserved as technical monuments.From station 152 Wendelstein, the stations Marienhöhe, Schönheide, Kiel, Schöneck, Lottengrün, and Wilhelmshöhe were sighted.
